and it annoys me how companies like Aubrey Organics and Burt's Bees use it because it's "natural." Yeah crushed bugs are natural, I guess.

I was looking at their site after the "vegan" brand I've been using just went to shit-and I question if her stuff is really vegan now. Probably will buy some soon.I really need waterproof mascara but have no clue where to get it.

ooooh, i haven't tried the tarte. i guess i'm not that picky about mascara in the end, but i like options, ya know?

I am super picky, mostly about the brush though. I tried the Arbonne mascara and it had such a small spindly bruch, I like a nice big round, fat, plump brush...I actually washed and used an old lancome brush to apply the arbonne stuff because the brush that came with it is such crepe.

Tarte is the only one I have access to and I really like it. I wish they made a black/brown though or that sephora at least had it in stock.

Do you buy it online, or at a shop?

I had an allergic reaction to the Beauty Without Cruelty mascara and my eyelashes fell out and one of my eyes swelled shut. So, I would avoid that one if you have sensitive skin.

This is good to know, 'cause I was going to try this one, not that I have particularly sesitive skin, but I don't want to risk it.

ZuZu luxe mascara I like. Aveda Mosscara is vegan. Am going to try that one once I am out of ZuZu. I have yet to find one I am totally in love with.

I have been using mosscara for about a year. It has just been the easiest for me to get. It is okay when it is new, but it gets flaky pretty fast. I find that I have to apply it to my lash tips first, let that dry, and then apply it to my lash base or it will straighten my freshly curled lashes.

I did read that it dries out rather quickly. Bummer. I guess I will stick to ZuZu then, for now. Someone told me the entire Boots line is vegan. Does anyone here know? Lots of affordable make up and moisturizers and easy to get at Target.

They have black tubes with with designs on them as opposed to the older ones in silver tubes.

I heard that some mascaras have bat guano in it too. ick. What brands are vegan?

really? i don't doubt you, but where did you hear this?

ps- out of the vegan brands, which one is the best? mr. j. got me some from etsy for chanukkah and it sucks. i was so happy when i got it because i thought, yay! i get to finally wear eye make up, and it didn't do jack for my lashes. have you ever seen a wookie cry? it's pathetic.
